insmod /lib/modules/"$version"/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o &
Puts the process in the background and continues. (which may cause the 
sbpcd module to attempt to load before the cdrom module has finished 
loading)

insmod /lib/modules/"$version"/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o &&
insmod /lib/modules/"$version"/kernel/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1
(that probably needs to be all one line, or be broken with a \)

Should cause the cdrom module to load, and only after it has loaded 
successfully, will the sbpcd module be loaded. 

For debugging if it still doesn't work, you could try:
Create a file loadmods.sh
Put the following in the file:
########################

#! /bin/sh -vx
version=`uname -r`
insmod /lib/modules/"$version"/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o &&\
insmod /lib/modules/"$version"/kernel/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1
if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
   echo "This cdrom is a pain! Module failed to load!"
else
echo "Done."
fi
exit

###########################

Don't forget 'chmod +x' the file.
Make sure the cdrom module is NOT loaded.
'rmmod sbpcd' and 'rmmod cdrom' if need be, and run the script.
If it works, you can try putting the commands in rc.local, or just call 
the script from rc.local.

The output here is:

[root at snakebyte root]# ./loadmods.sh
#! /bin/sh -vx
version=`uname -r`
uname -r
++ uname -r
+ version=2.4.9-21
insmod /lib/modules/"$version"/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o &&\
insmod /lib/modules/"$version"/kernel/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1
+ insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-21/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o
+ insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-21/kernel/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1
/lib/modules/2.4.9-21/kernel/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.o: init_module: 
Input/output error
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
   echo "This cdrom is a pain! Module failed to load!"
else
echo "Done."
fi
+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'
+ echo 'This cdrom is a pain! Module failed to load!'
This cdrom is a pain! Module failed to load!
exit
+ exit

Which is as expected, since I don't have a soundblaster cdrom.
